Hello, everyone. |
2 |
|
3 |
I think all you know the utility revdep-rebuild. It's very usefull. But it |
4 |
has |
5 |
some nasty features, such as totally ignoreing of emerge default options |
6 |
set in |
7 |
/etc/make.conf |
8 |
|
9 |
Would you like portage to be verbose? Ignored. |
10 |
Do you like portage showing you what's going to be emerged? Ignored! |
11 |
Do you wish portage to ask for your confirmation before actually doing |
12 |
compilation? |
13 |
Yes, IGNORED! |
14 |
|
15 |
Just press ctrl-c and enjoy scrolling. Then run again. No too user |
16 |
friendly. |
17 |
You don't like that behaviour? Just add the desired options to command like |
18 |
parameters. You don't like adding options explicitly? Hey, that's Gentoo, |
19 |
just make |
20 |
a wrapper script and be happy ;-) |

I wrote a letter Paul Varner, reporting him about that bug. And what did |
23 |
he answer? |
24 |
That's a feature, not a bug. "We purposely do not honor |
25 |
EMERGE_DEFAULT_OPTS because not |
26 |
to do so will break revdep-rebuild in unexpected ways" |
27 |
Ok. There is easy, dumb and stupid way of fixing that - just filter out |
28 |
harmful options. |

I suggested my help in developing the script. I asked him what options |
31 |
will break things... |
32 |
No answer. 12 days left. |
33 |
|
34 |
I made a report in bugzilla: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289599 |
35 |
And was suggested to make the question up here. |
36 |
|
37 |
Please, leave your comments, suggestions etc. |
38 |
Thanks for attention. |
